The volume approaches Cuba as a nation that hosts a convergence of extraordinary global developments and, in turn, projects itself onto the world's major cultural, political and economic processes. From different perspectives, ranging from architecture and music to politics and economics, the twenty-one essays presented here embrace the multifaceted interactions between Cuba and foreign imperial strategies during the 19th century, the troublesome formation of national political cultures in the first half of the 20th century, and the multiple global aspects of some of Cuba's choices from the Cold War to the first decade of the present century

Il terzo World Urban Forum organizzato dalle Nazioni Unite a Vancouver è stato -come spesso succede agli incontri internazionaliun ambiguo confronto di riti e proteste di governi e movimenti. La rapida urbanizzazione delle megalopoli del sud del mondo allarma, almeno nei documenti, i governi e gli organismi internazionali. Ma più del dato quantitativo, sono i nuovi elementi della crisi urbana a confondere il quadro delle certezze acquisite. I problemi delle città non sono infatti patrimonio in esclusiva delle 'povere, grandi città del sud; e tanto meno le soluzioni si trovano nei modi di crescita delle ricche città del Nord. Al contrario, queste vedono crescere le rivolte, la povertà, l'insicurezza, l'emergenza abitativa. Ma questo crocevia di questioni pare ignorato dal ricettario corrente, che insiste sulla dubbia competizione tra città, ed elogia un'astratta classe creativa. Mentre almeno dal terzo mondo si potrebbero imparare approcci innovative e politiche più incisive.

L'opera, scritta in lingua inglese, offre un contributo alla teoria delle zone franche e, in particolare, al dibattito concernente i punti franchi di Trieste. L'indagine è suddivisa in tre parti: la prima, di carattere didascalico, contiene l'enunciazione di concetti generali; la seconda è dedicata all'analisi dell'esistente, a raggio amplissimo, nazionale e ultranazionale; nella terza si delinea la figura giuridica del Free Port, per astrazione dalle sue particolari manifestazioni storiche. Asse portante dell'opera è dunque la componente economico-giuridica, la cui attenta disamina offre lo spunto per una futura auspicabile politica legislativa di rilancio del porto triestino.
